Lindsay Lohan keeps it casual leaving La Scala restaurant in Beverly Hills on Wednesday showing off her legs in some Daisy Duke shorts.

If you missed it, Lindsay takes the cover of Paper magazine’s March 2008 issue.

New York magazine which ran the Lindsay Lohan recreation photo shoot originally done by Marilyn Monroe recorded more than 40 million page views on its website which usually only averages 1 million page views per day. Lindsay sure knows how to draw the eyeballs!

Lindsay Lohan declares “I am what I am” in the March 2008 issue of Paper Magazine.

The photographs were taken by famed photographer Jeremy Scott at the W Hotel in Westwood. Styling by Marcell Rocha.

Here’s a tiny preview of the article: “After a few well-publicized bumps in the road and a wild girlhood spent under scrutiny, Lindsay Lohan emerges strong, ready to work and without regrets. Girl, you’re a woman now.”

Ali Lohan makes no secret of the fact that she’s addicted to fame and fortune like her older sister, Lindsay. The 14-year-old spoke with Teen Vogue about making a name for herself:

On her new reality TV show: “It’s not all that fake stuff. It’s just what we do in our everyday life.”

On her role model big sister: “I grew up watching Lindsay and it made me want to do what she does. Just the whole vibe. Being there, being on camera, or onstage, with everybody listening to you … it’s so cool when people look up to you. I’ve already been asked for my autograph and it’s just a really good feeling to have.”

On how she really wants to become an actress, singer and fashion designer: “Really bad, so bad. So bad you don’t even know. And now, it’s actually happening.”

The April 2008 issue of Teen Vogue features 10,000 B.C. star Camilla Belle on the cover and is on sale nationwide March 11.

Check out the outtakes at NYMag.com.

Momager Dina approved of the pictures yesterday: “It was very tastefully done. Trust me. I wouldn’t have sent my 14-year-old to the set [if the shoot was in bad taste]. And obviously Lindsay wouldn’t do anything with her sister there, that was risqué.”

The original set of pictures were posted on Monday.

Lindsay Lohan bares all and does her best Marilyn Monroe, recreating Monroe’s last (nude) photo shoot for New York Magazine.

In 1962, photographer Bert Stern shot Marilyn Monroe in “The Last Sitting” photo shoot and 46 years later, he revisited his classic shots with Lindsay Lohan. Here are some snippets from Lindsay’s interview with NY Mag:

On comparing Marilyn Monroe and Heath’s Ledger’s tragic deaths: “They are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone… I don’t know. I’m not them. But I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me.”

On posing nude: “I was comfortable with it… I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor.”

On the Monroe photos Lohan revisits: “Here is a woman who is giving herself to the public. She’s saying, ‘Look, you’ve taken a lot from me, so why don’t I give it to you myself.’ She’s taking control back.”
